- Experience with cross-platform automation frameworks across web, native, and APIs; and reducing flakiness and improving time-to-signal via heuristics/stats.
- Experience building and integrating REST services, including subgraph/endpoint development, schema/API composition, and deployment collaboration with platform teams.
